Walnut woodwork not just a board

Walnut Park Elementary Grade 6 and 7 students had a chance to show a board is not just a board with a week-long woodworking project.

Teachers Melanie Anderson, Sandra McAulay and Andy DeBoer had kids use the Northwest Community College maker space to transform a three-foot, 1×6 board into projects as varied as a ping pong table, birdhouse (with a spot for a bird TV), trucks, and BB gun targets.

The teachers hope to do a project similar to ‘Not-A-Board’ this spring.
